One man with a grabby thing and a black bag would cost about £200-300 a month for a full time job, which after a few days intense grabbing would give a relatively easy job to keep the beach clean with early daily attention. I take it that Tom's "sorry Keith" implies that I won't hear of anything that suggests that Calis Beach has litter on it. Far from it, I have now given up on the idea of proactively looking after the beach problem Calis has. As usual a place with the name Beach/plaji in it's name is criticised for the state of the beach and the frustration is that we are £10 a day away from exactly that - a clean beach - but people prefer to close their eyes and think it doesn't matter.
I once had customers who commented that although they liked the properties and the prom, they were shocked by the beach (it was right at the end of the season, the worst possible time for looking at the beach). Now the builder of the property they liked was also a man of some influence locally so I took my chance to show him that a few fag butts an efes bottles might not be much in many local minds but it really could actually be enough to lose him a £65,000 sale. Failing to have one litter man would directly affect his bank account - at last I had the situation in understandable terms that would hit HIM in the pocket and hit home on a personal level.
"Take them down the Seril end, it's not so bad down there".
If the solution was to ship in sand from the moon I'd understand, but when you can almost touch the solution is when I just give up with the whole lot of them.
